The “Where You Fit” quiz classified me as a solid liberal, which quite honestly surprised me since I’m labeled as being part of the 14 percent of the population that is “highly politically engaged.” I always thought of myself as more of a passive liberal, as a typical white college student who holds progressive viewpoints … Continue reading
I’m a Libertarian according the the self-quiz. What that generally means I believe is…. “What They Believe Economically very conservative but moderate to liberal on social issues Highly critical of government Strongly pro-business Accepting of homosexuality Less religious than the average American Moderate views about immigrants compared to other GOP-oriented groups” Besides not considering … Continue reading

Unfortunately, I have fallen extreme victim to the Bubble this semester. Because of this and my general lack of knowledge about politics, this is the first time I have explored the causes … Continue reading
So, the political stance quiz labeled me as a solid liberal. I don’t necessarily buy that I’m that far left, but for the sake of the exercise, we’ll say that I am.
